.iey WIZ never be treated with indifference:

Wa. .hey nave ever seen before; the love

10 oohe py the rich members of the church and
ehey VIII meet them on different ground
SUNDAY services and sermons are good, and we
neeu them, but for spiritual growth an insight
INTO The church work, and acquaintance with
the true worth OF the membership, give me
the weekly prayer meeting, the women's re-
hei meetings, and all the social meetings of
the week. While there are "duties for the
rich, there is as much to be said on the other
side OF the question, duties for the poor
should any one who is member of the church
allow themselves 10 be kept from the house of
1od by the treatment or indifference of others,
one has the Same rights and privieger as the
other, and both are serving under the same
banner, could not both rich and poor be faith
iui flowers, and yet far apart in the same COM
pahy' Let the rich remember that to them
much has been given and much will be ex-
pected: Often they give, and literally, of
their abundance of this worlds good, but kind
words and gentle acts towards the poor will go
A"AoA .h'tll money, lOf IL cheerS and en-
courages the heart. May the poor strive to
look kindly on the rich, and don't imagine
Sights and GOODNESS where none is meant, and
ABOVE all never let human agencies interfere
with the performance of duty. I once heard
an antidote that has often occurred to me
when L heard people give this and that excuse
Tor not doing as they should. An old negro
woman who was a church member stole
turkey; the church members had meeting
Saturday to try her for the offense the proofs
were so conclusive that the old lady thought
best to throw herself upon the mercy of the
church, so she made full confession and
said: eyes, brudders, stole de turkey but
Use sorry, and if you forgive me dis time I'll
neber do so again" With such an humble
confession there was nothing to do but forgive,
and the sister was discharged. The next day
being Sunday and communion, the old lady
took her place among others at the COM
munion table. After the service was over,
some of the sisters tainted her and asked, how
she could go and commune, knowing she had
stolen turkey She turned and with great
feeling said: "Do you 'spose I'm guying to let
one little turkey keep me from my Jesus" If
we are satisfied our hearts are right, and we
are truly wishing to do our duty, don't let any,
thing keep us from our Fathers House and
the people of God.

Every city on the Mississippi is deeply
interested in the effect the Interstate
commerce bill may have on water trans>
portation. The St. Louis Republican
ventures this opinion:
There are strong indications that IN
der the operation of the inter state COM
merce law the Mississippi river will once
again become q prominent factor in the
commerce of the country. 1t is well.
American waterways have been too much
neglected. The Goulds, Vanderbilts and
CARROTS cannot gobble up the river beds,
and they cannot be thrown into the
hands of receiver on the edict of smart
msnipulators. Besides, the stock of
river cannot be wstered to the pub
lie detriment, and as public highways
they cannot be managed exclusively for
the benefit Of one, or few select cor
porations. Give the rivers chance.

All Medical Authorities

Agree that catarrh is no more or less
than an inflammation of the lining mem
brane of the nasal air passages.
Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affec>
ton of the head are not diseases of the
blood; it is a serious mistake to treat
them as such No conscientious physi
clan ever attempts to do so.
1t is held by eminent medical men that
sooner or later a specific will be found
for every disease from which humanity
suffers. The facts justify us in assum>
ing that for catarrh at least a positive
cure already exists in Ely's Cream Balm.
